A candy store’s specialty is taffy. Customers can fill a bag with taffy, and the price is based on how much the candy weighs. The store charges $$2$ for $10$ ounces (oz) of taffy.  

1. Copy the table below and fill in the missing values. Add three more entries.

   Amount of Taffy (oz)	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 1 $2$	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 2 $5$	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 3 $10$	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 4 $12$	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 5 $15$	Amount of Taffy (oz) column 6 $20$
   Price ($)	Price ($) column 1 is blank.	Price ($) column 2 is blank.	Price ($) column 3 $2$	Price ($) column 4 is blank.	Price ($) column 5 is blank.	Price ($) column 6 $4$

2. Graph the values in the table. Let $x$ represent the number of ounces and $y$ represent the price in dollars.

3. Is this situation proportional? Explain your reasoning.

   Hint (c):

   Does the data make a straight line through $\left(0,0\right)$?

4. What is the slope of the line you graphed? What information does the slope tell you?

   Hint (d):

   $\text{Find the slope using }\frac{\text{rise}}{\text{run}}.$

   Find the price for $1$ ounce of taffy. What do you notice?

5. Write the equation that represents the candy store’s pricing.

• Hint (e):

  Use the equation $y = mx+b$, where:
  $m =$ slope
  $b =$ y-intercept
